Dog Found Alive in Impound Lot Car

Employees at Absolute Towing and Recovery in St. Paul, Minnesota, discovered a dog inside an abandoned SUV that had been sitting in their impound lot for weeks. The vehicle had been towed more than a month earlier and appeared no different from the others waiting to be processed. When workers opened it to prepare for cleaning and demolition, they noticed blankets, a cloth draped over the driver’s seat and a small box.

Then they saw a tiny dog curled up in the back. He slowly lifted his head and gave a faint wag of his tail.

The Chihuahua-dachshund mix had somehow survived inside the vehicle the entire time, likely sustained by small amounts of water and scraps left behind. Employees immediately contacted local rescue Pet Haven.

Now named Otto, the dog was in poor condition, suffering from overgrown nails, severe dental issues and a small tumor. With veterinary care and the comfort of a foster home, he has already begun to recover.

The hope is that Otto will be ready for adoption and headed towards a safe, loving home. Source: https://www.thedodo.com
